I was getting certificate errors :

www.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

I fixed it by :

  • BitDefender -> Privacy settings -> disable Scan SSL
  • adguard -> Browsers -> Don't filter

SSL can't be enabled when using firefox 38.0 64-bit beta, please fix this bug, I want to be protected

If you use software that puts itself in the connection chain then you can expect this to happen. You would have to install a root certificate of this software to make Firefox trust this certificate if you do not trust the Firefox built-in protection. You need to contact the creators of your security software for instruction if you do not know how to proceed.
